`Essential attributes of photos in Google Photos/Picasa Web Albums are
expressed using elements from the `media' namespace, defined in the
MediaRSS specification[1].
Due to copyright issues, the elements herein are documented sparingly, please
consult with the Google Photos API Reference Guide[2], alternatively the
official MediaRSS specification[1] for details.
(If there is a version conflict between the two sources, stick to the
Google Photos API).
[1]: http://search.yahoo.com/mrss (version 1.1.1)
[2]: http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/reference.html#media_reference
Keep in mind that Google Photos only uses a subset of the MediaRSS elements
(and some of the attributes are trimmed down, too):
media:content
media:credit
media:description
media:group
media:keywords
media:thumbnail
media:title`
